The s 'cess of the School was the result of prayer anil work. After a careful study of the intluence of last summer's School the (leneral EpwtMth League Hoard reconnnended that each Ainiual Conference be encouraged to hold similar Schools. The Toronto Conference Epworth League decided again to hold a Summer Schl is to train workers who shall lead in an organized effort to develop a prayerful, intelligent, systematic-giving interest in the missionary work under tlie management of the General Board of Missions of the Methodist Church of Caniula. A study of the programme will show that the League, Sunday School and Church are the fields to l)e worked. Special attention is paid to the Epworth league Monthly Missionary Meetings for llt03 which are based on the text- book: " The Evangelization of the World in this Generation." MetluMls ..f missionary education in the Sunday School and the monthly mid-week missionary prayer-nu-eting, at which all our mission fields will be studied under twelve divisions, are not only kept -n • -nd tliroughout the pro- gramme but have a 8|)ec'.al time for careful consideration Che time m Summer School will be beld-3uly i9tb'29tb.

The Evangelization op the World — Room 1 — 11.00 to 12.00 Each Day. " The Evangelization of the World in this Generation " is the watchword of the Student Volunteer Movement. Mr. Mott's book, tearing the title of the watchword, has been chosen by our General Epworth League Board as the basis of the missionary programmes for the monthly missionary meetings of the Leagues for the next year. During the six days this class will study the twelve subjects for the Epworth League- Monthly Missionary Meetings for 1903. Missionary Literature — Room 2 — 11.00 to 12.00. Know and you will pray. Know and you will study. Know and you will give. " Give attendance to reading.'' To know the facts of modern missions is the necessary condition of intelligent interest. It is almost useless to try to sustain ini^^sicmary interest without missionary information. This information is available from many resources. Men of acknowledged scholarship are writing bo:)ks of literary merit and educational value out of an experience made possible. through lives consecrated for service. In the study of the conditions of the non-Christian nations, the weakness of their systems, religions and superstitions, we must use missionary literii'ure. The means used and the results attained in the effort to give these Christless people the truth that shall make them free are the stories missionaries tell in many a volume of biographv. The growing value to the world nf the people, once savage, now Christian, may be learned from the study of their commerce, their educational piogress, anr. Su»ie C.

" One thing is as great as to be a missionary, that is the missionary spirit that makes missionaries of others by contagion of our zeal." Not What, But How.— The Methodist Summer School department of tlie Forward Movement for Missions seeks to provide more power for all the church missionary machinery. The maxims " knowledge is power " and " union is strength " are especially true in missionary effort. Much is lost for lack of knowing how to unite all forces for steady development. Those who spend one hour a day, for six consecutive days, in the study of methods and opportunities for leaders in the Methodist Church, will be surprised and delight<>d to see ht)w many open doors invite them to step intcj the ditferent depart- ments of our Church and do aggressive work for missions.

VVe cannot use to advantage the information we j,'ain through niis.sionary literature without the use of maps of mission countries. Our niissiun fields are nothing more than vague portions of the world unless we study their geography. Cliarts are invalu- al)le in illustrating the many relatio.ns of oui Church and social life to the missionary problem. At the Sununer School the department of Map and Chart Making will be under com]>etent teachers. All who wish to learn will be given oj)portunity, as the hour set apart for the work does not interfere with other study classes. It would repav every church to send a delegate to the Sunni.er School to attend this department and thus secure maps of our mission fields at small cost.

It will include curios, maps, charts, samples of missit)nary leatlets and magazines, al.so photo- graphs of missionaiies and \iews from mission fields. The missionary books will form an important part of the exhibit. Someone will be in attendance to give assistance to those who wish to examine the books, which will be found very attractive and interest- ing. The exhibit of recommended books will be a good opportunity for Leagues to purchase new books for their missionary libraries, and for Leagues without missionary libraries to secure the books at a special discount. A comprehensive catalogue of missionary books, " Around the World in JJookland," may be obtained at the exhibit without charge. -1.5- Uicioria College and missions By Reo. Fror. mcCaHgMin, m-J!., B.D. THEfoppruniu'rof Victoria College was the Upper Canada Academy, which was founded in Cobourg in lf<.30. Five years later, in 1S41, the college received its charter and began its work. Tt was a s]>lendid monument of the faith, the courage ami the self-sacriKce of the little Methodist Church of that day. Many of its founders were themselves missionaries, or were closely identified with missionary enter- prise. Conspicuous among these was William Case, familiarly known as Elder Cise, the father of Canadian missions, and hitnself a missionary U) the Indians for more than twenty years. A glance at tiie records of tho-;e days will show that the Hoards of Victoria College and of the Missionai-y Society were largely composerl of the same men —the ll3-ersons, Uichey, Jones, Gr.-en, Hurlburt, Vandusen, Scott, Beatty, Sanderson, Rice. Wood. Established by such in -n and endowed with their .spirit the college became, and has contin-'^d to be, a training sclrtol for the mi-n who were to carry the Gospel throughout the length and breadth of this land and into the regions bevond. One of the earliest of these was Henry Steinhauei-. pioneer missionary to the Oree Indians, and one of the translators of the Bibh" into the language of that people. Of the many narves that follow on the roll of missionary ht>rues and .saints wlio have gone out from Vic; )ria College, only a few can be mcntiimed. Perh.aps the most illustrious i.. that of George McDougall, apostle of the great North-West. Kob.son, Lucas and Russ were among tho.se who planted .Methodist missions on the Pacitic Coast. Bower- man, Sennnens, Halstead, Lawson, Bridgman, wert>, with ami after Dr. George Young, —10- pioneers of iMethoel niessa^je over the Pacific and began the first foreign mission ot the Canadian Methodist Church. Many graduates of Victoria followed them there, and the Jai)aii mission is still nobly sustained bv their labors. Neither havi' Victoria men been backward in volunteering for service in Chira, and now one of her sons is on his way, and three others are appointed to go to augment the forces of Metliodism in that empire Outside of the work ot the Canadian Methoilist Church, graduates have d U.fO .Study Class- U(X)in 1. to isas follows: li.0O|Kvanuiliza- |ti(iii cf the world ill this iTeiieratioii. n. no Missionary Room i. to Literature, li.iio 11.

These friendships are true and stronj;. List year it was unsatisfactory to say a hurrieil goiMl-hye, or even, as many were forced to do, disperse and go home without even a parting word. This year th ' Executive has succeeded in making a \ ery happy arrangement, which will permit friends to converse and members to talk with .Missionaries and Speakers.
